Thanks, the issue was on eBay but I was in negotiation to buy it and my offer was higher then what he would have gotten on eBay. I have been looking for this for a long time. Metropolis has had a cream to off white version of it on their web site for about a year or so. I submitted two offers for it but they want only top dollar for the issue even though it has cream pages. That is why it will be there for years to come. I do not know why they bother to have "submit an offer" option because it seems they never accept an offer. I have put offers in that were 10% less and they still rejected it ( the offers were still in the 3 times guide range.) I have since bought nicer issues for less money from other dealers. Do not get me wrong, I think Vincent is one of the best in the business and a really stand up guy, but I do not understand the logic of some of their pricing sometimes. I understand the big dealer, overhead, initial investment...blah,blah, blah, but you cannot always get 4 to 5 times guide for an issue that the market does not justify that cost.
